PANJIM: Minna Pirhonen, mother of Felix Dahl, who died in Goa, has urged the Finnish Foreign minister to take up the case during his meeting with Union External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj.
Pirhonen, speaking to Herald, said that she has urged the Finnish Foreign Minister Timo Soini to raise the Dahl murder case so as to get justice for her son.
“I phoned the Finnish embassy in New Delhi and have also written a mail based on their instruction to Seija Kinni the minister counsellor in the embassy. I received a mail from the embassy that matter would be placed before Soini,” she said. Soini is currently in India.
Pirhonen has been following the death of her son who died on January 28, 2015 at Patnem village, Canacona.
The High Court of Bombay at Goa is currently hearing a petition on shifting the investigation from Goa Police to Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
According to Dahl’s family members he was found dead in mysterious circumstances. His mother has been demanding to register the death as a murder but Canacona Police registered the murder only after the court’s direction. The family had to approach the court to get directions after the police refused to register it as a murder.
The family has now alleged that there is no headway in the case. The family has approached the High Court of Bombay at Goa through a writ petition pleading to handover the investigation to Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The family has already written to the Prime Minister of India and also to the Chief Minister of Goa about the shoddy probe by Goa Police.
